Re: Skandinavian (?) beaker I.
:::: Would be interesting to see Master Marks with date beneath (from the book), I keep wondering if the "(ID 1700)" hallmark is actually over-stamped on top of another hallmark, but it could be that I am not seeing the Master Mark correctly, perhaps there is no over-stamping at all. ::::::

Re: A monstrance
::::: Brazil has sort of similar hallmarks, and often uses the number "10" so is it possible that the "9-1/2" denotes a slightly lesser silver fineness and the marks are somehow from Brazil? ::::::
